As long as there’s Big Momma, we’re going to bring you comedy.
I don’t really judge. To each his own. You like what you like.
I don’t really judge. To each his own. You like what you like. If you want someone who’s big-boned and you like that, ain’t nothing wrong with having a little extra meat on their. If you like them thin-boned, then that’s okay too.
I don’t want to sound facetious, but humour is the key to the soul. You know what I mean?
Enjoy your popcorn and enjoy the show. It’s just a movie, so have fun!
Boxing kept me out of the streets, by giving me something to do. And it gave me a father figure in the coach that was there for me. I just reiterated what my mother was trying to teach me about focusing and getting my life together.
It’s always fun to be able to have a voice, because it helps me to stay in tune with the project and the people that I am working with. Ther’s nothing worse than being on a project and not being able to have a voice. I don’t like that.
